Follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury:

note: The short power-supply cord supplied reduces the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If an extension cord is used, its marked electrical rating must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the brewer. Make sure the extension cord does not hang over the edge of a table or counter and that it cannot be pulled on by children or tripped over. The extension cord must be a 3-wire cord of the 3-pronged, 3-socketed, grounding type (including grounding conductor).

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.• Do not place cord, plugs, or brewer in

water or liquid.• Close supervision is necessary when

brewer is used by or around children.• Unplug brewer when not in use for 3 or

more days and before cleaning. Allow brewer to cool before removing or replacing parts, and before cleaning.

• Do not operate brewer with a damaged cord or plug or if the brewer malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Return brewer to an Authorized Service Facility for examination, adjustment or repair (see page 11).

• Using an accessory not evaluated for use with this brewer may cause injury.

• For indoor household use only.• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

counter or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place brewer on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

• Do not use brewer for any purpose other than its intended use.

• Do not remove brew funnel or carafe while brewing.

• Do not use the carafe on a range top or in a microwave.

• Do not set a hot carafe on a cold surface.• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe

with a loose or weakened handle.• Do not pour any liquid into the water tank

other than water or vinegar for cleaning, as specified in this manual.

• Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.

• When brewer is not in use, keep lid in the closed position.

• Use BUNN paper f il ters – they’re made with a special grade of paper to ex tract the purest cof fee f lavor. And they’re taller, so you won’t end up with over f low and grounds in your cof fee.

• Decaffeinated, f ine grind cof fee and/or sof tened water may cause an over f low of grounds into your carafe. Visit www.bunn.com or call BUNN Customer Service at 1-800-352-2866 to request a f low restr ictor sprayhead free of charge.

• For the best cof fee f lavor, gr ind beans just before brewing and be sure to use enough coffee. We recommend 1-2 heaping Tbsp. of dr ip grind per cup, or about 1 .5 inches of cof fee in a f lat-bottom f ilter.

• Dispose of f il ter and grounds immediately af ter brewing to prevent dr ip-through of bit ter f lavors trapped in used cof fee grounds.

• For best cof fee f lavor, cof fee can be held in a glass carafe for up to 30 minutes or in a thermal carafe for about 2 hours.

• Preheat a thermal carafe for best results . Fill with hot water for about 30 seconds, then empty before brewing cof fee into carafe. Preheating the thermal carafe prevents cof fee from losing temperature when it enters the carafe.

• For maximum freshness, store cof fee in a clean, dry place away from heat, vents or ex treme cold.

• Fresh, good-tasting water is essential for a perfect cup. If your water contains excessive sediment, or has an ‘off ’ taste or odor, we recommend using f iltered water.

• Your BUNN Velocity Brew is designed to remain plugged in, and the vacation switch on, at all times, except during initial setup, when cleaning, or if it won’t be used for 3 or more days.

cLeANING AND MAINTeNANce

bASIc cLeANING

Wash the brew funnel and glass carafe af ter each use – they’re top rack dishwasher safe. Hand wash the thermal carafe and lid af ter each use. Occasionally wipe the outside of the brewer, including the area above the funnel, with mild, no citrus added dish soap and a damp cloth. Every 2 to 4 weeks remove the sprayhead and clean. While cleaning your brewer, check the glass carafe handle and tighten with a standard screwdriver if it ’s loose.

DeLIMING

Deliming your brewer clears any deposits that have accumulated due to impurities in the water source. The frequency of deliming depends on the mineral content of your water.

NoTe: Unplug the brewer and let it cool before deliming!

1 . Remove the sprayhead by turning with your f inger tips; set aside.

2. Inser t all but two inches of the f lexible deliming tool into the sprayhead tube. Dif ferent models use dif ferent deliming tools. Please use the one supplied to prevent damage to your brewer. Call 1-800-352-2866 or visit www.bunn.com for a replacement deliming tool.

3. Slide deliming tool in and out of the sprayhead tube f ive or six times to loosen lime. You may need to twist, push and use some force when inser ting the tool. Remove tool.

4. Pr ior to replacing the sprayhead, pour one carafe of fresh water into the brewer. Position empty carafe on the brewer and close the lid. Water will f low into the carafe.

5. Check the sprayhead holes. If they’re plugged with mineral deposits or white f lakes, clear with a toothpick . Clean sprayhead with a cloth and mild detergent, r inse with water, then reinstall . Empty water from carafe.

6 . Plug in brewer and allow approximately 15 minutes for the water in the tank to reach brewing temperature.

Deep cLeANING

You should clean your brewer at least every 3 months. The frequency of cleaning depends on the mineral content of your water.

1 . Slide empty brew funnel into the funnel guides under the sprayhead and place empty carafe on the base plate.

2. Open lid and pour 1 quar t of white vinegar into the top of the brewer ; close lid. Empty the carafe when liquid stops f lowing from the brew funnel.

3. Allow brewer to sit plugged in with the Vacation Switch on for 2 hours.

4. Unplug the brewer. Remove brew funnel and sprayhead from the brewer. Clean sprayhead with a cloth and mild detergent.

8

5. To clear vinegar out of brewer, pour a carafe of fresh, cold water through the brewer. With brew funnel in place, position carafe on base plate, then close the lid to allow the water to run through the brewer. Af ter it has run through, empty carafe and repeat the process approximately 8-10 times

6. Replace sprayhead and brew funnel. Pour additional carafes of fresh, cold water into the brewer as needed until water has no vinegar smell or taste.

7. Place carafe on base plate and plug in the brewer. Allow the water in the tank to reach brewing temperature before using (approximately 15 minutes).

THerMAL cArAfe cLeANING (bT & ST)

To disassemble the thermal carafe for cleaning, rotate the lid counterclockwise to remove. Occasionally, the brew through valve should be removed and cleaned. Lif t at the edge and pull up. Use a mild, non-abrasive detergent to wash the lid thoroughly – paying par ticular attention to the passage where the brew through valve is located. Af ter r insing, replace the brew through valve into the carafe lid. Do not use a scrub pad or other abrasive cleaning device to clean the carafe, as this will scratch the stainless steel sur face.

To remove coffee stains from inside the thermal carafe, place a paper f il ter in the brew funnel and pour 2 teaspoons of Cascade® powder dishwasher detergent into the paper f il ter. Slide brew funnel onto the funnel guide and open brewer lid. Pour one carafe of cold water into brewer. Position carafe on brewer base plate and close lid. When brewing cycle stops, remove brew funnel and discard the f ilter and detergent; r inse funnel thoroughly. Allow carafe to sit for 10-15 minutes. Using a long handled, sof t br istled brush, clean inside of carafe as well as the outer r im to remove any cof fee stains or debris . Occasionally scrub the carafe pour lip and the area around it , including the lid, with a mild detergent and warm water. Use a sof t cloth and scrub hard. When f inished, pour out solution into sink and thoroughly r inse carafe and lid with clean water.

DrAINING Your brewer

The water in your brewer should be emptied whenever the brewer is taken on a tr ip, shipped, stored in an unheated location with a chance of freezing, or will not be used for an extended period of time. To drain your brewer :

1 . Unplug brewer. Remove the brew funnel and sprayhead and set them aside.

2. Cool brewer by pouring a full carafe of fresh, cold water into the top. Place the carafe on the base plate and close the lid. When water has stopped f lowing from the brewer, empty the carafe. Repeat this process and set the carafe aside.

3. Grasp the back of the brewer and carefully turn it upside down over a sink . Most of the water in the tank will f low from the sprayhead tube opening. Some water may f low from the area around the top lid. Continue tipping the brewer until the f low stops.

4. Replace the sprayhead and funnel af ter the water has been drained.

HoT wATer TANK

• Brewer is designed to be plugged in at all times, except during initial setup or when cleaning.

• The stainless steel hot water tank is designed to keep water at the proper brewing temperature at all times. During a brew cycle, the newest water added to the tank is heated to proper brewing temperature and held until needed.

• Use vacation switch to completely shut of f all electr ical components when brewer will not be used for 3 or more days. Safety features built into the BUNN Velocity Brew make daily use of the vacation switch unnecessary.

• If brewer is shut of f or unplugged for an extended period of time, allow water to heat to the proper temperature before using (about 15 minutes or until the heating sound stops).

• If brewer has been shut of f and drained of all water, follow Initial Setup (page 4) before brewing again. Improper setup will result in permanent damage to your brewer and void the limited warranty.

GLASS AND THerMAL cArAfeS

• NHS, GR , BX – Brewed coffee f lows into a glass carafe and is kept at serving temperature by the porcelain carafe warmer. Warmer is controlled by the on/of f switch at the front of the brewer. NOTE: The warmer switch controls only the carafe warmer. It is NOT the vacation switch.

• ST, BT – Brewed coffee f lows into an unheated thermal carafe. The double wall stainless steel construction holds cof fee at serving temperature for about 2 hours at maximum f lavor. Pre-heating (instructions on page 6) carafe with hot water increases the time coffee stays warm.

ADDITIoNAL INforMATIoN

• When brewer is not in operation, the spin or f lip lid should be closed. If lid is lef t open, water can drip from the sprayhead when cold water is poured in.

• Hot water for cooking may be dispensed through the brewer when there are no cof fee grounds in the f il ter basket. Use caution when dispensing hot water from the brewer. The water is approximately 50°F hotter than a hot water faucet.

• If the sprayhead becomes loose and needs to be retightened with your f inger tips, make sure it has cooled suf f iciently to avoid burning your f ingers.
